Not worth it when you consider injury risk and it being a total distraction on/around the team.

Right now they are the only 'seller'. Closer to the deadline, there's another 5-8 teams selling, 10-12 teams on the bubble, and only 10-12 big buyers. With or without this deal, the Coyotes could find themselves on the outside looking in (hell, that could happen by the end of this week)
